Review summary

Unfortunately I can not write a good review because our cabin 9339 turned out to be a disaster with 4 days of electrical problems. our lights in the bathroom and main ceiling lights kept going off and not working when the lights were off the air conditioner would also go off. We had to have electricians come to the cabin nightly and daily to reset a circuit breaker somewhere down the hall and then try to troubleshoot the problem.to no avail until the last day when it was finally fixed. in the meantimethe bathroom was in the dark for showers and toilet use. No air made the room uncomfortable for sleeping. The water from shower was cold entire cruise. Some of the womens public restrooms had toilets out of order and overflowing. Unfortunately these issues ruined our cruise, as the rest of the cruise and Cuba were good

Lights not working in bathroom and cabin ceiling for 4 days . had electricians come daily to rest a breaker switch somewhere down tha hall and it would go off again a short while later. when there was no lights the air cond also was not working, had to use the toilet in pitch dark and shower. during the night when air was not working sleeping was uncomfortable. Electricians came daily to trouble shoot and replaced parts like a blower motor. thinking it was fixed the problem would still happen again later in the day. on the last day 2 electricians spent quite some time in our room and seemed to have fixed the problem since the lights and air stayed on through the entire night. Did I also mention that the shower water was cold. these problems frustrated us and put a damper on the cruise, which was a shame since the rest of the cruise was good and so was Cuba

Ship tip

For example: We found a little gem on Deck 11 in Il Adagio for breakfast. They serve made to order omelets, and waffles. It's quiet and there wasn't much of a line. It was quaint, and not a lot of people went up there to eat. Most people hit the buffet for breakfast.
